I was anxious for the Western Union part, but the lad, really wants me to visit him on Mali. Is this a viable scam? Would he killed me, or would he play his role till I´m back and send him money. Anyone had experiences with gold scamns?

Dear xxx,
You mail was received and noted
Actually we expect you to come for due diligence DD
At the same time carryout a preliminary sample test at Mali Government DNGM for assay report which you will conduct with your name
Its upon your satisfaction with the whole processes, then you can proceed and pay the taxes duties involves which is 9% through the miner entrusted shipping company approved by Mali Government to secure all needed documentation for the goods to be shipped to your designated country
Another alternative is that, you can as well send the taxes money to the transistor shipping company mention above to secure the documents, we will send a representative to accompany the shipment to your designated refinery
Understand Mali is a very safe country you can count on in terms of business, business is booming on daily basis, Air-France E.T.C comes and returned every blessed day , from your point of viewing, if really Mali is having any problem as you might thought you will be inform by your country immigration when you are about paying your air- ticket to fly down,
Note; we don’t send samples, we can only take a pictures of the Gold we intend to sell for you and forward it via your email for your viewing and believed
If you wish to proceed with us, send us a scan copy of your international passport so that we can give you a Mali entrée visa, miner will take care of your visa charges
I look forward to hearing from
Regards
"lad"

People have turned up in ladland, only to be robbed, scammed again, kidnapped or all of the above. Not common, but it does happen.

If you search, there are resources on here to generate airline bookings, or you could do what I do, and nearly book a real ticket, then send your lad a printout, all very convincing. Tell him you are arriving at a very inconvenient (to him) time and airport, and get him to meet you at the airport, carrying a sign with a slogan of your choice.

When I arrive at an airport in real life, I still smile when I see people with cardboard signs with names on, imagining one saying 'Roy Cropper'. I got a few lads to do it, usually meeting a 3am flight.

I always wonder what the German/Dutch or Spanish passengers think of the guy in arrivals with the sign saying "Goat Abuser" in their language.

same thing, you could fly to him and tell him, that you take a lot of money with you, but land on another airport due to a storm or something. or a technical problem.

and then scare him by telling him that you can't be safe there. he will do everything to come to you. I played that I was giving my lad the mtcn so he can come to me, and I got robbed right when I was sending the last 3 digits, on the phone.

if he sends a friend, then tell him, that you met his friend and handed the money over. he will hate his ex-friend for chopping the dollahs.

Another good dodge is to create the required itinerary (Expedia, Orbitz), miss them at the airport, book a local hotel (easy enough to find in the land of google) and then keep missing him there. You can string him on for days, especially if you keep sending him "phone" photos of your adventures. I found blurry pictures of the bar at "my" Lagos hotel and had a lad visit a bunch of times.

And oh, did he rant.

Google "airline itineraries". You'll find hundreds of them. Download one you need and use PS or Paint to change details to suit. For some reason, every flight I've ever booked connects with a TATA airline flight in Bombay or Mumbai. TATA is never on time Sometimes they are only hours late. Other times they are days late. I really wish my airlines would stop code partnering with TATA, but I do need all those airline miles to visit lads. Laughing

And murdered!

Second Roycropper's suggestion to find an inconvenient time to arrive. Look for the first or last flights of the day. Either way you are likely to have the lad out of bed in the middle of the night.

You can also try to get him to pay for a night's lodging. Insist that the Lad make the hotel reservation, then schedule your arrival for after cancellation time - typically 6 PM. If the hotel is a major international hotel, you can call and confirm the reservation has indeed been made. I did this with some South African lads. It was hilarious, and I got them to pay a second night's lodging as my character missed the connection for his first flight!

Looking back this was one of my favorites. Lad was meeting his new Gal who was bringing 'Piles' of Cash and Electronic goods. Sadly something went awry:

Robert idea is funny. You can always get kidnapped on the phone which brings incredibly hilarious result. Just get a skype account, a bunch of baiters (PM you if you need help) and start calling. Search the chief issac thread in HH&T. There's a brilliant mugu kidnap.

I was baiting a lad from Mali a little while back, he wanted me to go visit him.
Unfortunately, due to the civil war, Mali was closed to civilian air traffic.
Sadly I didn't get to tell the lad in time before he headed to the airport to meet me. Oopsie...
